In the effort to fire a Civil Service employee, his or her manager may have to spend up to $100,000 of tax money. Since Civil Service employees know how hard it is to fire them, they tend to loaf. This explains in large part why the government is so inefficient.
It can be properly inferred on the basis of the statements above that the author believes which of the following?
I. Too much job security can have a negative influence on workers.
II. More government workers should be fired.
III. Most government workers are Civil Service employees.
(A) I only
(B) I and III only
(C) II only
(D) I, II, and III
(E) III only
Please share your idea and your reasoning :D

IMO A.

Statement II is irrelevant.

Statement III - we cannot properly infer that most employees are from Civil Service. here the author might be sighting this example inorder to indicate the inefficiency of the government.


Thanks!
